working hard...or hardly working?

hey homies, get it? homies?... people at home? haha alright anyways, today was our third day here and our first day of work. Despite our title, we WERE working very very hard. So it all started when we all had to wake up around 6:30 (TOO EARLY TO FUNCTION CORRECTLY) For breakfast we had some lovely gourmet CEREAL. Then we headed off to work. We arrived around 8ish at the warehouse where we met our leaders for the week, Hannah and Mary Bess. (and surprisingly one of the guys working with us was the music dude from a camp some of us go to called kanuga.) After being told what we have in store for us for the week ahead of us, we got back in the vans and went to the house we are fixing. on the way down to the house, it was eye opening seeing how different it is here and how many houses and families still need a lot of help. WHen we arrived at the house, we were instructed how to put sheet rock on ceilings and on walls. Next, we split into groups. The one group was outside doing yardwork (with gloves of course.. it was like a jungle out there!), and the second group was inside building ceilings. It was really really hot, but dont worry they made us drink water every hour! After a long days work, we hopped in the vans and headed back to the house. But along the way, Father Cals van got a flat tire... oh no ! But in time, they fixed it. After everybody raced to get a shower, we had a meeting with a guy from the cathedral who told us about what exactly happened with the hurricane and how THE GOVERNMENT LIES!!! After that we had yummy yummy baked potaoes with a side of salad and pasta for dinner. And now were writing this blog.TTFN. (:
